Dark Oak Wood

[fracster]

We have a small oak wood near us that is full of wrens, but it is really dark in there and they are so quick that i`m struggling to get them on camera,i`ll persevere though.......:)

Anyway, I spotted this female blackbird today.

At ISO 800 I was down to 1/100 second shutter speed, I don`t think I could go less handholding the lens at 360mm.It is very dark in there.
